Class Details

The Photo Shoot is held in the warm waters of Kingsley School pool with a professional, experienced underwater photographer using highly specialized equipment (see www.underwater-art.co.uk). In a 30-minute time slot, a small group of parents and babies will be photographed above and below the water. A specially trained Bubble Babies instructor will submerge the babies and the latest top spec photographic equipment, used by the camera crew, ensures that 4 to 6 images are captured per second. This means that a substantial gallery of photos builds up from even one submersion and babies can relax and enjoy rests before choosing to be photographed again. You may also opt to have family photos all together: Baby, Siblings, Mum and Dad as well! We endeavour to make our photo shoots happy and relaxed occasions in which the well-being of the babies is of the uppermost importance. Try to keep everything as normal and calm as possible with the adult who normally swims with baby coming into the pool for the photo shoot (don’t forget your costume!). Can my friend bring her baby for a photo? The underwater photo shoots are open to everybody but we do insist that all babies must have experienced a swimming course involving a gradual and progressive programme of underwater work so that they are physically and mentally ready for the event. Booking There is a fixed cost of £30 for attending the shoot with £10 per extra sibling taking part.
